I will be sharing a few camping recipes in the next weeks and months so 
be sure to stay tuned.  This Butter Chicken is a fantastic way to start!  This is a brilliant “one pot” type of meal that makes preparation and clean up while camping a breeze.
 
We are so excited for camping this season.  SO EXCITED!  It’s hard to express our level of excitement in words.  Really.  We just bought a new camping oven, an oven… to take camping!!! And I cannot wait to test out a few recipes in that puppy.  Let me tell ya!
 

Tin Foil Packet Butter Chicken

Foil Packet meals are truly the way to go when camping.  They allow you to throw all of your ingredients together in one packet to cook.  Then you just toss the tin foil and have very little mess and clean up ~ which is really the goal when you are camping!
 

How to make foil packet butter chicken:

Tin Foil Packet Butter Chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts (1 lb), cut into strips
1/2 cup (125ml) of butter chicken sauce
** I buy this sauce in a jar from Costco but you can also find butter chicken sauce on Amazon (aff link) **
10 button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 small onion, diced 
1 bell pepper, diced
 
 

Tin Foil Packet Butter Chicken

Directions:

1. Place your ingredients on the shiny side of the tin foil.  The shine helps to reflect the heat and creates a little oven in your packet.  We layered our chicken with the vegetables on top.  Then we roll the foil into a packet.  I find that it helps to fold the edges of the foil over once before creating a package ~ the foil is more sturdy that way.

2. Cook on grill or campfire over medium heat for 25-30 minutes.  This can be served alone, with rice or a side salad. 

I love using foil packets to create “one pot” style meals while camping.  It really simplifies meal planning, preparation and clean up while in the great outdoors!

Camp cooking essentials:

  • Menu planning for camping is something that I always do to stay organized.  Grab this free Meal Planner Printable to get started on your next trip.
  • A Pie Iron Camp Cooker (aff link) makes cooking over the open fire super easy.  Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration!  Or visit my how to use a pie iron post for tips.
  • Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide. 
  • These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing!  Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors.  Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, they melt.
